Oliver ,   Eilat   (05.12.15)
Just what Israel wants Gaza to be uninhabitable.
2. This is good news!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.13.15)
Israel no longer needs to supply fresh water to Gaza! So let's stop giving them free fresh water today.
3. Just what Arabs should do as Jews did
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.13.15)
Their very rich brothers in Mecca should welcome them back home from the uninhabitable Gaza Diaspora

Sammy ,   Newcastle   (05.13.15)
Yet another source of potential pocket money over and above the tunnel tidbits And the contrast in Gaza couldnt be starker. Compare Assi the Engineer - despite the hardships is innovative and resourceful whilst the so called man at the top leeches and bleeds his country dry while planning yet another military escapade with the psychopath Dieff amid the comfort and luxury afforded by his Bestest Sugar Daddy Erdogan in Turkey While Assi is looking for investment to build and create so Mashaal is squandering more and more money on more and more tunnels for more and more pointless wars that destroy everything Gaza DESERVES BETTER

more resources should be spent on important projects instead of rockets, guns and tunnels. Gaza will self destruct on present course.

Diaa Abu Assi, a Gazan Arab, shows that the Gazan, the Arab people, are not just the helpless, uneducated, and cutters of wood , herders of sheep. BUT I don't understand how a nano-filter can extract salt from " 260,000,000 cubic meters of water/year, based on success with a research with a 1,000 cubic meters/day. Undoubtedly millions of tons of salt/yr will have to be removed . If this salt returned to the sea it will diminish or even surely eliminate fishing in Gaza. Yet Diaa Abu Assi may yet succeed. All then power to him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It would make sense for Gazans to also invent a means to limit Gaza's explosive population growth: 1968: 0.085 million people => 2015: 1.2 million people http://unctad.org/en/docs/poecdcseud1.en.pdf Most estimates put the 1968 population of Gaza as 85,000 ! ! ? ? moshe
